Supply Chain Staffing and Recruiting Agency

A supply chain staffing and recruiting agency like Near sources, screens, and delivers interview-ready candidates so your team isn't spending time sifting through unqualified profiles or running searches from scratch.

At Near, the process starts with a discovery call where your dedicated recruiter learns about your team structure, the specific role, and what a strong hire looks like for your operation, whether that's ERP proficiency, vendor negotiation experience, S&OP knowledge, or something specific to your setup.

We then search across Latin America, screen for the skills and English level the role requires, and deliver a shortlist in under a week.

From there, you interview and make the hire. We’re there for support every step of the way.

Near is a full-service nearshore staffing and recruiting partner that helps US companies hire for remote roles across all industries and functions, including supply chain, procurement, and operations.

We place roles like demand planners, supply chain analysts, procurement specialists, and S&OP analysts, and we handle everything from sourcing to compliance.

1. Candidate sourcing and screening: We handle sourcing, screening, English proficiency testing, verification of supply chain and ERP experience, initial interviews, and international background checks.
2. Payroll, compliance, and contracts: Through our staffing model, Near manages contracts, payroll, and tax compliance so you can hire in LatAm without navigating local labor law yourself.
3. Equipment and onboarding logistics: We've helped clients source laptops and coordinate equipment setup when needed. Not every client needs that, but the support is there if you do.
4. Ongoing support: Once your hire is in place, your dedicated recruiter stays available on Slack for check-ins and anything that comes up.

Both our recruitment-only and full-service staffing options include the same rigorous vetting and no upfront costs.

Yes. LatAm supply chain professionals work full US business hours because the time zones are naturally closely aligned. There’s no overnight lag, no waiting until your afternoon for a response that should have come in the morning.

Supply chain decisions often can't wait: a vendor issue, an inventory discrepancy, a purchase order that needs approval. If your team is operating on the same schedule as your suppliers and internal stakeholders, those issues get resolved the same day. 

Companies that have previously managed supply chain roles with teams in India or the Philippines consistently cite time zone misalignment as the core operational friction. LatAm removes that friction entirely.

Yes. LatAm supply chain professionals frequently have direct, hands-on experience with SAP, NetSuite, Oracle, and other ERP platforms widely used by US companies, along with demand planning tools, Power BI, and advanced Excel.

This is something Near screens for specifically. We ask candidates about their ERP backgrounds, the specific modules they've used, and the scale of operations they've managed within those systems.

Candidates who can't demonstrate real familiarity with the tools your team uses don't make the shortlist.

Near is a top-rated recruitment agency with a 4.9 rating on G2 from 115+ client reviews, a 98% placement rate, and a 9.1 client satisfaction scores that reflect what operations leaders care about: fast, high-quality hires who stick.

Unlike generalist staffing firms, we specialize in Latin America, which gives us the market depth that translates into better candidates, more accurate compensation benchmarks, and faster time to hire.

Most supply chain clients receive their first shortlist within 5 business days and complete the hire in under 3 weeks.

Hiring supply chain talent in Latin America outperforms traditional offshore locations like India or the Philippines because of three things: full US time zone overlap, stronger English fluency for vendor communication, and closer alignment with US professional norms and operational expectations.

The pattern companies describe after trying offshore supply chain hiring in Asia is consistent: decisions lag by a day, vendor calls are difficult to schedule during shared hours, and the coordination overhead of running async on a time-sensitive function compounds quickly.

LatAm talent works in your time zone, communicates clearly, and operates with the same professional cadence your US team does. For supply chain roles that require real-time responsiveness and direct vendor interaction, the difference can be significant.

Near's fees depend on which model you choose—recruiting only, or full-service staffing that includes payroll and compliance—and we cover both clearly on the first call.

There are no upfront costs. You only pay once you make a hire. Most clients find that even after Near's fees, the total annual cost of a LatAm supply chain hire is 40–60% less than the equivalent US-based role.

During your discovery call, we'll share current salary benchmarks for the roles you're hiring so you can set competitive compensation and attract the strongest candidates in

Near places supply chain professionals across procurement, demand planning, logistics coordination, S&OP, vendor management, inventory analysis, and operations analytics, including data and systems roles like ERP developers and Power BI specialists who support supply chain operations.

If your role sits within the supply chain function and can be performed remotely, Near can find qualified candidates in Latin America.

Yes. Near provides EOR services, payroll, benefits administration, contracts, and ongoing support if you choose our staffing model. If you prefer to handle these directly once you've made the hire, we have an option for that too.

Yes. Near offers a 180-day replacement guarantee on all placements. If the candidate doesn't work out within that window, we'll find a replacement at no additional cost.
